It’s worth noting that the time of obscene wealth generated via Tariffs. The timeframe of 1870-1914
Got the nickname “The Gilded Age”.
Life wasn’t particularly good, by our Modern standards at least. For the overwhelming majority of the Country. Hell even for the time there was no shortage of miserable conditions by the era’s standards.
Though Corporate Leaders, Lobbyists, Big Businessmen, and the Government officials they bribed. Were indeed living the high life and enjoying the fruits of the time. Everyone else was primarily occupied avoiding any of the numerous problems of the era, trying to avoid premature deaths, and trying to eke out a living.
So reverting to the Tariff System is all well and good. But the problem to address would be to ensure that excess Wealth actually is able to make its way down past the Politicians, CEOs, and upper level corporate management.
